We’ll start by traversing the middle Atlas Mountains on our journey to Ifrane. The lush mountains and far-reaching vistas of Berber communities make this range noteworthy.

When you arrive, you will have the opportunity to go for a stroll and explore the region.

Testimonials:
The best 2 Dyas desert tour from Fes
We're a bunch of buddies who recently got back from a trip to Morocco. It was a fantastic trip. We'd want to emphasize the fantastic decision we made to stay a few nights in the desert rather than the 1 night/2-day vacation we planned through Moroccan Desert Tours. The well-equipped luxury camp is in the center of Erg Cheddi dunes. Furthermore, great rooms with really comfy mattresses, side tables, poufs, water, fruit, and a very clean and well-equipped bathroom. Towels, soap, and shampoo, to name a few... There were also hammocks, swings, novels, cards, and snowboards to help you unwind. Dinner and breakfast are both wonderful and plenty. Everything went well. Thank you so much for your kind welcome and for allowing us to share in this wonderful event!

Merzouga tour from Fes
A buddy suggested the firm to us, and now I see why! We took a 2 days Sahara desert excursion from Fes and had a fantastic time. understanding the culture, meeting the locals, and seeing the tourist places Certainly, the 2-day trip's highlight was the overnight at the desert camp.

Hamid is the best
We traveled with Hamid, a fantastic driver who is light years ahead of people who claim that Moroccans don't know how to drive, and are much superior to those in Italy. Not just in the desert, but also in other parts of the world, this was an incredible vacation with stunning scenery. From the gorges to the canyons, from the Atlas to the palm-fringed oasis, Morocco has it all. A fantastic nation with an excellent guide who informed us not just on the finest eateries but also on strategic picture and activity locations (like feeding the monkeys). With this tour operator, we suggest this kind of vacation to everyone.

11 days itinerary
Moroccan Desert Tours organized a personalized 11-day itinerary for two persons around the nation. I picked this driver service since it was well-reviewed and offered the most competitive price among 10 tour providers.
Morocco's architecture and scenery are magnificent, but our tour guide didn't provide any background. Because it was evident that English was a barrier to communication, the bulk of the journey required us to do our own destination research. Despite a lack of clarity in communication, our driver was pleasant, and his mobile texting responses were timely. In addition, our driver was really timely. He'd be ready and waiting to deliver us to our next location on schedule by starting each day earlier than planned.

Ifrane:
When you begin your 2 days tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert, you will pass via Ifrane, Morocco’s “Little Switzerland.”
It is the capital of the Ifrane province in the Meknes-Fes region, with a population of 73,782 people in 2014.
Ifrane is regarded as Africa’s best city and the world’s eighth-best metropolis. Not only that, but it is also Africa’s oldest city, with a winter temperature of -28°C.
When you get in Ifrane after a 2-day journey from Fes, you will be brought to the Garden City. The white lion statue is well-known.
Ifrane served as a prisoner of war camp during WWII. A German soldier had to carve the white lion monument to gain his release.
Furthermore, King Mohammed VI owns a residence in the vicinity, and he has visited the city multiple times for its beautiful scenery.
There are several ski clubs in Ifrane for ski enthusiasts. With this in mind, Ifrane receives more snow in the winter than any other Moroccan city.
Forests of Azrou Cedars
Azrou is home to one of Morocco’s greatest cedar woods. It’s in the center of the Atlas Mountains, not far from Ifrane.
You will see the cedar forest, which is home to the Barbary macaque monkeys, when you take the 2 days, 3 days, or 4 days Sahara trips from Fes.
You will feed them since they like travelers giving them nuts and other delicacies.
The valley of Ziz
Morocco is home to a plethora of palm groves. As a result, as you begin your 2 days tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert, you will be escorted to the breathtaking Ziz valley.
It is one of the most important sources of dates in the Kingdom of Morocco, and it is also where desert characteristics begin to emerge.
A rushing river, sometimes known as Ziz, runs through the valley. It stretches for almost 200 kilometers till it reaches Erfoud.
If you’re a photographer, Ziz Valley is a fantastic area to capture some breathtaking images.
Erfoud
During our 2 days tour from Fes to Merzouga Desert, you will reach Erfoud after seeing the Ziz valley.
This city is well-known for its mountain fossil extractors, which have drawn a large number of archeologists seeking to uncover its buried treasures.
It is optional to visit one of the fossil extractors firms after you arrive in the city before heading to the Merzouga desert.
The Moroccan Sahara (Rissani) was said to have been the bottom of a huge ancient ocean during the Paleozoic Era, some 380 million years ago. With other words, outside of Erfoud, there are vast swaths of terrain covered in undiscovered fossils.
Ammonites, goniatites, and a variety of other fossils may be found at the corporate headquarters.
Camels and a Bedouin tent in the Merzouga desert
Merzouga is without a doubt the highlight of the two-day Sahara desert journey from Fes; it is most travelers’ first visit to Morocco’s desert.
Erg Chebbi is a huge sand desert in the southeast of Morocco with exceptionally towering dunes that may reach 150 meters at what is known as Lala Merzouga.
All of our Morocco excursions may take you to Merzouga to explore the sceneries and participate in a variety of sports such as quad biking and sandboarding at the camp…
When visitors arrive at Merzouga, the majority of them take a camel ride from the hamlet to the camp where they will spend the night. They pause along the road for a beautiful sunset and beautiful views of the dunes and camels.
Others choose to remain for a Merzouga town visit, which is included in the 4-day trip. They visit the National Auto Museum to learn about ancient automobiles, then go to Khamlia to meet the Gnaoua people and learn about their music. Finally, the sample Berber pizza before being taken to their hotel for the night.
